FF13 Wins Round One Against Monster Hunter 3

The battle for sales between Final Fantasy XIII (exclusive to PS3 in Japan) and Monster Hunter 3 (exclusive to Wii) may be already decided. The Final Fantasy XIII demo outsold the Monster Hunter 3 demo by more than two times.

DQ will fare much better, but even so I got the feeling that the Wii fever is just dying. I hope a bump in sales surrounding DQ but then every Wii owner is going to get a PS3 when FFXIII gets released.

Actually, I believe that the Dragon Quest series is more popular in Japan than the Final Fantasy series.

I remember reports when Dragon Quest 8 was released of people in Japan skipping work to play it en-mass. It got sevier enough for some companies to take exstreme messures if they found out if you did take work off for Dragon Quest 8.

The difference being that Final Fantasy has world wide popularity so you will always see higher numbers for it.

While i think both games are trash sony's last ace is ff13, and after that they have nothing anyone cares about. Nintendo on the other hand has monster hunter, dragon quest for the ds and the wii, and they have ff plus other rpg the Japanese seem to only like nowadays.

yeh there is only one problem with mh, it would sell better on thhe ps3 coz of the target audience only hardcore gamers are gonna care about this one, and let's face it the majority of it's users are casual and couldn't be fussed about what new game is coming they are still happy with all the naff mini games they got with their wii
